The first thing you should do with scam emails is to send them over to '[email protected]'. Next, use the phishing report feature (usually found by clicking the three dots in the top right corner) to flag the email. Only after that should you go ahead and delete it. Taking action like this helps protect others who might be caught out by these scams. It’s important we all play a part in reporting these dodgy emails. You can find more info in the comments below.

Just send any scam messages you get to 7726 and make sure you also flag them on your phone’s spam reporting tool. Sorted!

I answered and asked who was calling, but got no response. So I just ended the call and blocked the number.

When I picked up the phone, there was just silence for a bit, then a robotic voice suddenly said “goodbye” and hung up.

When this number rings, just pick up and stay silent, they usually drop the call after a few seconds. Don’t speak at all, then block it right away. They might try ringing from another number after that though.

This was defo a scam, they said they were with British Gas but it all felt off.

I picked up the phone, there was silence at first, then suddenly I heard someone say "goodbye" and the call ended.

I got a call and when I picked up, there was this weird buzzing in the background, kind of like a busy office or something. They kept dodging when I asked for details, just kept saying my SIM card was gonna get blocked in the next day. I wasn’t having any of it, so I just ended the call.

Got a call that lasted maybe 5 seconds from this number, but my iPhone flagged it as potential spam so I just let it ring out. Heads up though, if you pick up next time, they’ll know your number’s active and might pass it around, causing even more dodgy calls. If you’re in the UK, you can report these by texting “Call ” plus the phone number to 7726. I’d recommend googling it to be sure. The more folks who report the same number, the better the chances it’ll get blocked.

I got a ring from +441418468145 at about 6.09pm, just when most places have shut their doors. My phone instantly flagged it as spam or some dodgy fraud call and blocked it right away.

I got a call from this supposed debt agency, and they kept ringing me from loads of different numbers - you just can't block them all. When I tried calling one back today, it was obvious it was an Indian call centre on the other end.

Got a call but no message was left behind. Missed it completely.

Definitely some dodgy bloke, worst kind of creep. Just chuck it straight in the bin!

Got a call from a number I didn’t recognize, no voicemail left. Figured it was probably a scam.

They called me asking for some info about a PVP claim, but I wouldn’t share any details on the phone. Better to be safe and not give that stuff out like that.

So I picked up this call but no one spoke, then it just ended. Same thing happened yesterday but from another number since I blocked the first one. Today, I popped over to a mate who lives just across the street, and his landline rang. When he answered, the caller asked if he owned his house. He immediately hung up. It's crazy how many scammers are out there these days. Honestly, hope they get a taste of their own medicine.

Got a call a few times from someone about car insurance, which was weird cos I don’t even own a car. They even said they’d be passing me on to a solicitor or something. How on earth did they know my name?

I got a call from this number that I didn’t pick up, then later received a text from an 020 number asking me to call back to hear the message.

They called me a few times, about three I think, but never left any sort of voicemail.

I think it’s a scam, probably some sort of spam caller. I block one number, then a different one rings me straight after.

Got a phone call and I answered but couldn’t hear anything on the line. Then the caller hung up straight away.

They didn’t even leave a voicemail, definitely feels like a scam to me.

Got loads of missed calls from this number while I was at work, but no voicemail or anything. After a quick search on this site and a couple of other reverse lookup places, it turned out to be a scam. Definitely don't pick up if you get a call from them.

Got a call from a woman with a strong Indian accent saying she's from Virgin02, warning me that my SIM card was going to expire soon. When I asked her which company she was calling on behalf of, she just hung up. Definitely a scammer.

I got a call from someone claiming to be Vodafone, saying they needed to upgrade my SIM. I rang Vodafone staff later on and they told me the call wasn’t legit at all.
